Cure and Care of Burns.

In all burns great care should hc taken to
savo the cuticle-the raised portion Of the
skin that forms the blister. Clothing, ETC.,
sho"!'l hc removed with the utmost gentle
less. Rl!sters should be carefully punctured
with a clean needle. The best way to be sure
tl.;i Il needle is clean when required for such
service is TO heat it red hot, allow it to cool,
and then Use it. 1t will thus bo freed from
any organisms for in such place as burn
germs will thrive a!undantly and prove most
detrimental, 50 that the utmost care is necess-
ary. Thea the raised cu,iclo should be
pressed down to the true skin, and covered
with IL large quantity of clean cotton wool to
prevent the access of air, rs free exposure
tends to increase shock and pain.
Equal parts of lime water and lnseed oil
applied on lint and covered with cotton wool
i>a !avorite remedy, known under the name
of r;Aron oil, or Tho blister may be covered
with wheaton flpar. Lately powdered clay
las been employed, hut fer the first few days
i l. lest to wrap the part in cotton wool, suf-
i:''icnt oil being employed to prevent its stick
in. Tho dressings once put on must not be
removed for some days--not, indeed, until
they have been loosened by the discharge or
lpccome offensive Tho constant removal of
dressings is disturbing, painful, and consc-
qucnsly injurious, and to obviatc any nccess-
i'y for it carbolic oil, rs a Iisinfectant, is
used i'll the proportion of ono to ten on more.
Small burns or scalds may be treated by
water dressing, lead lotion, chalk und water,
cu!ioe'ion or Frar', halSam. Two parts of

application. The patient should he kept in :.

campaninl as a Stage Lover.

Cnmpanini was n tenor with whom no
primn donna ever 1uarrelcd, or ever mnle
soft eyes to that Ind real meaning in enl
And yet there wcro times when the fair
singers dreaded singing with him. He .mu-
lated passion, angry passion, altogether too
realistically. In the tender scenes of court
ship, us i'll "Fnust," Campanini was most
agreeable lover. He neither ovcrtld nor
uncr'lid tho part. His touch was gentle and
he had good mentor in n pair of bright eyes
belonging to Mrs. Campnnini who invariably
watched him from tho scenes But in tragic
parts like that Of tho jealous lover in Gear
men" Campanini was n terror. The gentle,
sweet voiced little Vnllcria, who was so great
II favorite in Now York seven or eight years
ngo, will carry scar on her finger to her
dying day that Campanini made while sing
ing with her in Carmen" 1t is his business,
in one of his paroxysns Of jealousy, to seize
Michaela's hand (Vnllerias), and on ono oc-
casion ho did so with such violent stimulation
of passion that ring that she wore cut
through to tho bone. 1t was splendid acting.
The audience chccrcd and cheered, and he led
Nalleria to tho foot lights while tho poor
woman was almost faint from pain. Camp,-
mini was in great distress when he learned
what he had done.
Minnie Hauls regarded Campanini as the
best Don jose by all odds, as sho certainly is
the best Carmen, on the stage. and she always
sang the part better with him than with any
one else; but she used to caution him in nn
undcrtone when she saw that his dramatic i'll
stin.t was impelling him to be too realistic,
and once, i'll the murder scene, when Don
jose is about to stab Carmen to death, Cnmpa-
mini looked so fcrocious and dreadful that
Minnie Hauk said in nn undcrtone with n
smile: Remember, you arc not to really stab
me-" An astonishing lack of jealousy charac-
terzed Campanni. He never displayed the
slightest taint of that passion, and Col. Maple
son says that he is the only great singer he
ever had to do with from whom jealousy did
not at times crop out.-Ncw York Sun.

Nothing does boys mere good than sense of
Responsibility; they like to ho trusted, and
that is tho way to make them worthy of

Much of the misery of domestic life comes
from the selfish cxactions of men who have
been spoiled by their mothers. All life is an
exchange of courtesies. Boys are quick to
detect Il sham, ready to resent q supposed i'll
jury and equally ready to listen to cry of
distress. Every woman in the land who is
blessed with a boy to train has sacred duty
to perform; he may fill her hands with torn

same hands will be claspel in blessing and the
same heart will throb with JOY if she makes

The greatest secret of enjoying existence in

Average Age of the Men and wome

Average Age of the Men and Women
Who Enter the Marriage state.
On Il stree: car the other day met n man
who asked INC to make guess at the average
age of the men and women WHO marry i'll
Chicago. reflected for moment upon tho
imlatienrc OF youth and the arclor of love,
and replied: "Twcnty three for men and 90
for the women" But l was wrong. Tho
average" said the man, with that authority
which comes of knowledge, sis 2S years for
men and % for women. How do l know' Be-
cause lave figured it out from published re-
ports of the marriage licenses issued fromday
to day. Of course, n good many marry
much younger than this, but just think
how the average is brought up when
some lovcsick youth Of 10 or 50 leads
to the altar n blushing damscl only few
years his junior. Several such cas's have oc-
Cured in Chicago of late, and came across
one match in which the groom was as and
the bride so. This was several years ago,
though there have since been several cases
nearly as bal. ] saw one license, too, in
which the groom's age was given ut p and
the brides at 50. This was an extreme case
of course, but the number of cases in which
the grooms arc younger than the brides is re-
markably large. In 32 marriages out of 900
women, and in sc out of ] 600 bride and groom
are of the same age. Tho average marriage
age for males in Chicago is about the slno as
in England and Scotland, but the average
age of the women over there is nearly three
years older.
Russia is the place where they do marry
young. Over there moro than onc-tlir'l Of
the men and moro than one-half Of the women
marry before they are 20. Is there as much
marrying in Chicago as in Europe in proper
ton to population: Here are the figures: In
Chicago during lsSGth marriages averaged
ID per 900 inhabitants; in England the rate
is II per 900: i'll France, lG; in Germany,
IS and in Sweden, only l3. The lowest mar
riagc rate is in Ireland. am satisfied that
there are very few consanguineous marriages
in Chicago, which is healthy sign. In France
l.. per cent. Of the marriages are conson-
guincous; i'll England, 9 per cent, and among
the nobility, 5 per cent. Three-quartcrs Of all
consanguineous marriages are between
cousins. There is a greater number Of con-
sanguineols marriages in tho south than IN
Chicago"
"11avo the matrimonial adventures in
Chicago any favorte days for taking out
lircnses'" l asked, perccivfng that the man
was specialist on the marriage question.

liz day for marriage licenses. The number
